Grenada, Guyana, St. Lucia, Barbados, and St. Vincent and
the Grenadines. The objective of this exercise is to help
countries to identify the strengths and weaknesses in their
school health policy frameworks, with the understanding that
sound a policy framework is a critical component of

importance of school health programs in contributing to
education sector goals and the development of international

health programs. Section three discusses the conceptual
framework of system assessment and benchmarking for
education results (SABER) - school health, and introduces
the components of the SABER - school health framework and
scoring system. Section four provides the context for and
objectives of this assessment as well the methodology used
for data collection. Section five presents the results for
the six countries: first by individual country and then as a
comparative analysis across each of four policy domains. |
